"there were more fish in the river"

alive with fish weighing from one half
to one pound, found the big fellows
were rather shy of the fly, probably
knowing too much by experience to risk
anything but what they carefully exam
ined.
We tished for two hours and then we
determined to start down the winding
and rapid river. We first put the fish in
a bag and tied them securely to a seat,
so that they should not be lost in case of
an upset; then climbing aboard one of
the party took the paddle and we were
off. After we were under way the boys
informed me that the canoe was only in

over the rapids, rocking and dipping
water, going like a race-horse, l felt a
thrill of pleasure and excitement. We
stopped time and again to lure some
trout from favorite resting-places until
we got absolutely tired of catching them.
We arrived in Del Norte about dusk,
having caught during the day 1870 pounds
of trout, and the boys said it was really
not good day for trout either.

with solemn but accelerated trot, and the
rest in line as the merits of their respective
pieces of horsefIesh warrant. Dick clears a
rail-fence where the rider is off and the rest
of us knock it down and break through it,
making for the top of the hill, for it is i'm
possible to go with the hounds when they
are running, even if it were possible to keep
up with the hot pace which White Jenny has
cut out.
"Yonder he goes Thar he is!' is the gen.
eral shout, and yellowish red streak breaks

similar EXPLANATIONS burst from the party,
as we gain the top of the hill in time to see
Mrs. Reynard take a stone fence at bound,
and turning, start in a newly plowed field,
scuttle up the fence. "Here we come, boys"
yells the major, as the pack in full cry break
up the hill in the hot trail. "WhO's that in

torn and bedraggled so that the white tip is
almost indstinguishable. The scalp also,
with the ears, is torn off, and those who
want pads may have them. The hounds,
now quieted down, mouth the torn carcass,
toss it about, wallow on it, and then jog at
our heels as the major turns and sounds his
COW horn, like steam whistle pitched on
A-flat. The two terriers who followed the
hunt as far as they could and then cut across
the country arrive breathless and as self-im-
portant as if they had done it all themselves.
They jump into the mangled remains and re-
kill the fox with fierce delight, while Don,
the old pointer, looks on snuffily, as if he
didn't understand why so much was made
over one poor 'yaller" beast like that, any
how.
That was a bully rum" says the major,
as we stop again at the bridge before separat-
ing and taking a parting nip. II jes tell

"Hev 1t as you please, boys" joined
fourth, "but l jes' tell you there amt no

did scratch gravel"
And so the after-talk goes on until they
separate, each lauding the hound of which
he is specially proud, but all agreeing that
them English hounds amt no good" and
that ''for real music and sharp run give
us the old longeared mountain hound,
horned and raised on the blue grass slopes,
and safe to run and ketch anything from
niger with a herring in his coat-tail pocket
to full-grown buck"
Let those who may smile at the character
istics of these fox-hunters recollect that
with few exceptions, they never saw pink
coats, they do not follow on the heels of the
dogs, they have no regular pack of hounds,
and there is nothing approaching sweldom
about them-but they do catch foxes.

by, and, when they return, they are lust
where they were, except perhaps little crest
fallen. Finally, there is fire-raising. In
Gonstantinople or Teheran, or, we believe
Pekin, when oppression or neglect becomes
unbearable, fires begin. A dozen buildings
are burned every night, the circle of fire clos
ing in on the palace, until the sovereign is at
last aroused, and the grievance, whatever il
be, is, if removable, removed. This is a very
striking method, and has been known to sue
coed perfectly; but it has the drawback of n
certain vagueness. Nobody knows exactly
why the fires are kindled, or what will put
them out, and unless the dismissal of vizier
stops them, or the hanging of few bakers,
there is no reason why they should ever stop.
Still an oriental sovereign who honestly
wants to know what is up in his capital
when the fires begin usually has the means
ofknowing; and as the fires imply revolt in
the immediate future, he often thinks it
wise to be instructed and to obey the public
wish.

ARE THEY GLAD7

If she were here
To take my hand and ask, "What is it dear?"
She would not see the wrinkles on my face.
Nor note the silver where the gold had place !;
Upon my faded lip shsd leave kiss.
And whisper, Darling" and she would not
miss
The vanished rose; or, if she did, would say,
''How you have ripened since / went away"
The blemishes that others might despise
Would still be beautiful to mothers eyes.
If she were here,
She would not mind the changes if a tear
Should fill my eyes l know that she would
see,
And give sweet consolation unto me;
Yet, in her heart some things would little
heed,
Knowing how much their discipline need.
And so, think, though Heaven be not far,
And friends can see us even as we are,
They may be glad, like loving motherhood
Because they know how all things work for
good. -Congregationdlist.

piece of fur, apparently homeless as well as
lifeless, and holds it aloft, while the eager

A point is denoted by pair of letters
namely the letter marked on the column in
which it appears, followed by the letter
marked on the row. For example, the point
in the above diagram is denoted by F.
A straight line is denoted by joining in one
group the two pairs of letters denOting its
extremities. For example, the line b c is
denoted FJMc. A bent line is denoted
by series of groups denoting points through
which it passes, the letter being placed at
the beginning of the first group and at the
end of the last to distinguish the continuous
line from series of isolated points, For
example, the line d # 9 his denoted by LII,
NJ, Pc, ST, xDT. But the alphabet con-
tains only twenty-six letters, and one of these,
T, is required for the third of the above rules.
The square then which is divided into the
columns and rows must be very small, or the
columns and rows must be so broad as only
to give the position of point very roughly.
With the help of the letter a. therefore, a
system of prefixes has been arranged, which
allows map to be divided into any number
of these squares and the breadth of the
twenty-fOur columns and rows to be dimin-
lshed at pleasure so as to afford as much
accuracy as may be thought necessary.
In the recent military maneuvres in Eng
land the progress of certain bodies was
signaled so that it could be chartered out on
the map. By the same process plans of
Notifications and sketches of positions occu-
pied by troops have been transmitted. To
test the accuracy to which the system could
attain an engraved likeness of Col Bulwer
commanding one of the bodies of troops, was
signaled by the use of 700 words or groups
OF words, and was worked out as shown by
the accompanying diagram. 1t was charted
